Hello Floor!

There finally is a place to walk here in the house that's more than a small barely passable path...at least in the living room. I'm having such a hard time trying to figure out what to do with all my kitchen stuff. I know I have a lot of it but it's stuff I don't want to part with. I can part more with paperbacks than my kitchen stuff and that's a lot because I love books as well and have a hard time parting with them. I'm almost ready to finish setting up the kids room. Then I work on the kitchen to finish setting that up. Our bedroom will be last because I'm the least worried about that room. Anyway, there's more to share but unfortunately Baby is getting upset that there's nothing easy for her to grab onto to try to stand and it's almost her bedtime.

The joys of moving...or not

So, we've arrived to our new destination. Which means we no longer share a residence with the in-laws and no longer live in the in-laws basement. Can you hear the world lifting from my shoulders?

The drive was long with Tot and Baby but not as bad as I was expecting. They did phenomenally actually. We stopped at a friends house about midway through the drive and stayed there for two nights to recover. When we finally arrived in our new area I have to admit I was incredibly tired and definitely needed a couple days of sleep. I didn't get that necessarily but our belongings did arrive so now I sit here in the midst of piles of boxes that badly need to be unpacked and well I just don't feel like unpacking tonight. Biggest reason is that I just feel like crud today. I woke up with muscle aches and non-stop coughing. Fun times since I think I woke Baby several times last night with the coughing. At least she's easy to put back down by popping a boob in her mouth. And yep I just said 'boob'. The word that is on my list of least favorite words. It drives me nuts, but that's another story.

Anyway, I'm checking in here since we've arrived. We have internet finally. And do you know what's funny? When we arrived I saw left on the counter for me to fill out was a rural postal route directions card! Now, to be honest I don't live in the middle of the sticks but I just thought that was funny because I've never lived anywhere that needed something like that to be filled out. The other funny thing is that I decided not to get cable because I can't justify the cost of satellite. We decided to go with Netflix though and so far two days into the free trial we love it! I curled up today with Baby and watched season 1 of Roswell since it was all I could do today with not feeling well. And Tot got his customary episodes of Bob the Builder (the one bit of children's programming I don't feel the need to bang my head constantly on a wall to watch). Right now, we're watching Planet 51 which so far is cute. And now I'm off to work on fighting my current fever. Next time I'll tell you about the chickens out back. And my new best friend here which is my mop. I love it! Happy Friday Night all!
